Today started off bright and early as we adventured off to the happiest place on earth! Our mission of today was to do as much as Disney Land as possible and overall it was a very successful day. We were at the park bright and early, which was great as we avoided most of the lines and crowds as well as the heat. Our first ride this morning was Snow Whites Scary Adventure, which was far too scary for us! Going through the woods was really creepy and the Queen is a terrifying person. We left those awful memories behind and went to the Pinnochio ride, which didn't scare us as much. The favorite rides of the morning were Big Thunder Railroad, Splash Mountain, Indiana Jones, and Space Mountain. We also meet Tigger, Eeyore and Winnie the Pooh! In the early afternoon, the smog lifted and we were left with a beautiful clear, hot day and lobster skin. By 2, our energy levels were crashing and we were not patient enough to wait in lines, so we enjoyed the Columbia cruise, riding the railway and watched Great Moments with Ab Lincoln. I put my driving skills to the test on Autopia, and I am sure that if this was in Canada, I would have had my license taken away. My car and I didn't get along very well and so it would just turn itself off when ever it felt like it. It also didn't turn very well, and so the drive was very bumpy and giggly. We also wandered over to ToonTown, which is my favorite land, and we had our pictures taken with Mickey (He says Hi to you Papa!). Other highlights of today were climbing through tarzans tree, nearly breaking my camera and laughing at our flamboyant guide on the Jungle Cruise, where we also made friends with a guy who skied in Whistler for 5 season. In the evening we went over to California Adventures where we wandered around and gained many blisters and went on the new ride, Ariel's Undersea Adventure. For dinner we went to Napoles, in Downtown Disney. The meal was good, and it was wonderful to sit, relax and complain about our sore bodies. After dinner we packed in two more shows - the first was Aladdin the Musical which was very well done and funny! We then did a little souvenir shopping and ended the night by watching World of Color which was absolutely breath taking. Somehow we managed to hobble/limp back to our room and collapse into bed.
Tomorrow we are planning on getting up early to go back to Disney and get in as many rides as we can well the weather is cool and the lines are small, before we spend most of the day at California Adventures!
Despite all the complaining about blisters and burns, we are having lots of laughs and enjoying every minute. After all, as Paul Theroux said, Traveling is only glamorous in retrospect.
Here are some pictures of the day.
